The following video is part of our nationally syndicated Motley Fool Money radio show, in which host Chris Hill and advisors Ron Gross, James Early, and Seth Jayson discuss the week's business and investing news. Shares of Netflix have plunged 75% over the past three months as the online video landscape continues to shift. The guys share their thoughts on which competitors pose the greatest threat to Netflix, as well as one piece of advice the company may not want to hear.

The Steve Jobs Betrayal
You may already know that in the final year of his life, Jobs revealed a stunning betrayal — and told his biographer, "I will spend my last dying breath... and every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank to right this wrong." What was it that made Jobs so irate — and why could it make a few in-the-know investors some major profits over the coming months and years?

Enter your email address below to find out what made Jobs so enraged!

    what do you all think about their bonds...they look very juicy at the moment. I think this company will be around for a long time. If they are acquired by another company that's still a good deal for the bond holders.

    Investmentwise, I still think NFLX is expensive. The business model has been making a large array of older movies available at a reasonable price. A major attraction for me is exploring the catalog. They don't have everything for which I've searched but, they do a reasonable job for the price. I agree with Seth that providing new content would be very expensive. Personally, I prefer the DVD service.
